I'm shocked physical media is hanging on as long as it has, especially video game media. I really liked their magazine when I was subscribing. Shame.

Good luck to everyone there.

PC Gamer seems to still be going strong. Looking at this site, Edge and Play seem to still be available but the subscription prices seem steep.

Not sure why anyone would want a game stop membership without the magazine sub.

I used to love reading about games and seeing diff reviews but with how many games that appeared to be bad arse were just okay or crap, it’s almost not worth buying shite until you actually see gameplay yourself.

My cousin got a subscription in 1995. The first issue he got was the Killer Instinct one with the skeleton on the front. Nine year old messyjesse thought it was just about the coolest thing he'd ever seen.
